Field heat may cause rapid spoilage of fruits and vegetables after harvest. Therefore, it is essential that all fruit and vegetables are pre-cooled immediately following harvest to remove field heat and before packaging into Prolong® Modified Atmosphere (MA)and Humidity (MH) bags.

The Packaging Notes provide recommended post harvest handling regime including temperature ranges for pre-cooling and storage temperature of fruit and vegetables prior to packaging. These handling recommendations are generally accepted around the world across most varieties of a particular produce line.

The recommended packaging methods using Prolong® Packaging are based on actual experience; however, it is recommended that trials using Prolong Packaging be carried out first under local actual conditions before being used commercially.
